smplayer question
by JD
smplayer-14.9.0-1.fc20.x86_64
I have an mp3 file (a chant/prayer), which smplayer says has
only 6+ minutes duration.
However, the progress indicator shows it will play way up to
termination at 1:15:30.
Is there something in the file that can be tweaked to make smplayer
display the correct time length of the file?
Thanx.

Re: Suggestions for Poor ext4 performance questions
by George R Goffe
Hi,
I got one suggestion that was mixed up with the response to another question regarding printers. The response suggested "man tune2fs". I had looked at this and looked again but saw NOTHING that seemed to relate to my question. Are there any other suggestions please?
Regards,

Hibernate and lack of docs
by Martín Marqués
Hi all,
I was trying to get hibernation working on my F20 laptop with which I work.
Going through the process, which I thought would be more transparent
or that it would just be like hitting the hibernation and that's it, I
found great deficiencies in Fedora (maybe just from the kernel) and
especially in the docs (or the lack of documentation in this
particular issue):
1) I had trouble getting the system to hibernate. There wasn't
anything clear about the fact that you needed to have a swap bigger
than the amount of memory you have. Also, it doesn't work if you have
a file as swap (which was the easiest way to start testing)
2) You need (or at least with my laptop) to add the resume=<swap FS>,
this I did find information in the docs, but I'm a bit surprised that
Fedora doesn't give better information about all this during the
installation process.
3) When adding the resume= option to the kernel line in grub you can't
use UUID like FS. That is a bug IMHO.
Well that's as much as I remember now.
At least I now have hibernation working correctly on my laptop.
Regards,

nvidia maxwell firmware?
by Tom Horsley
So, after seeing black screens with the nouveau driver on
my maxwell card, I finally found this:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/NVC0_Firmware/
which looks a little like someone fired a shotgun
filled with video driver jargon at the screen :-).
Anyone know of an "extracting maxwell firmware
for dummies" web page somewhere?
I don't understand how all sorts of web pages
out there have reviews of people testing nouveau
on maxwell, and not a single one of them
seem to mention this tiny little problem with
getting them to work in the first place :-).

adding to printer list for cups web interface
by Robert Moskowitz
So I have an HP Officejet 8610 here and no Officejet in the supplied
(default?) list.
When you use the gui tool, it goes off and seems to look for whatever is
needed to support your printer. Not the case here. So how do I figure
out which printer ppd file? and how to add it to the list?

OT: LaTeX question (font Lato family)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have this line from a LaTeX poster presentation file:
\newfontfamily{\titlefont}{Lato}
But I have been getting lots of fonts not found and errors.
grep: Lato.log: No such file or directory
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input Lato' failed to make Lato.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
!
! The font "Lato" cannot be found.
!
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
!
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................
l.12 \newfontfamily{\titlefont}{Lato}
...
And so on.
I have installed Lato (perhaps) using:
sudo yum install texlive-lato
Any suggestions as to what is going wrong, and how to get around this. (Again, I know that this is not a Fedora question, but I thought that someone may have experience with this, and an answer.)
Many thanks again for any help!
Best wishes,
Ranjan

how does Fedora 20 find fonts for LaTeX
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
It turns out that the Lato family is installed but the fonts are not being found.
$locate Lato
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-Bla-LCDFJ.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-Bla.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-BlaIta-LCDFJ.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-BlaIta.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-Bol-LCDFJ.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-Bol.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-BolIta-LCDFJ.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-BolIta.afm
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/lato/Lato-Hai-LCDFJ.afm
.....
and so on.
How does F20 get to find the fonts family? I was under the impression that if I installed from the standard repos, this would be automagic, but clearly that is not the case.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

What is the deal with rpmfusion nvidia updates?
by Neal Becker
I don't understand why yum doesn't want to install updates when a new kernel is
available:
sudo yum update
...
---> Package kernel.x86_64 0:3.16.7-200.fc20 will be installed
...
[nothing about kmod-nvidia-blah]
** yum wants to update kernel **
rpm -qa kmod-nvidia*
kmod-nvidia-304xx-3.16.6-203.fc20.x86_64-304.123-1.fc20.16.x86_64
** kmod-nvidia 3.16.6-203 is already installed **
yum info kmod-nvidia*
...
Name : kmod-nvidia-304xx-3.16.7-200.fc20.x86_64
Arch : x86_64
Version : 304.123
Release : 1.fc20.17
** OK, there it is! The kmod I need for the new kernel. So why doesn't yum
want to install it?

Cannot Upgrade From F20 To F21 Using Fedup.....
by EGO-II.1
Hey all, Happy Veteran's Day! I've been trying to upgrade from F20 to
F21 using fedup but keep receiving the following error. I don't know if
its an SELinux thing, or if there's something I need to either disable
or change in order for this to work. It does "go through the motions"
setting up repos and all and the final output I receive is below.
Some notes: Its an old Gateway laptop I'm using PIII - 4GB RAM - I was
aiming for workstation, haven't tried server or cloud, so it could be
that just the workstation install is busted. Any help anyone could give
would be greatly appreciated.
